My AMD puts appear to have been an ill-conceived notion.

Haha yeah. My theory was that it was priced for perfection and that low Graphics card demand would drag on the multiple. Guess I was wrong.

Yeah, I hear you. I bought GE in 2008 and figured "It's GE! It will always "win"! Down 35%. I imagine I've made a fair bit of that back in dividends over the 10 years, but it still sucks and I've been riding it down into the fire, and probably will continue to do so. Fortunately, it's not that much. I made the same "It will always win!!" decision to buy Goldman Sachs when it dipped during the financial crisis. I think it was around $100/share. That worked out so good I sold when it was up to like $15 oor something, and it's been over $200 for a while now. And it pays a dividend (a measly one, but still). Brilliant! :-/ |

You know what -- 10 years is enough time to ride a broken horse. I'm selling. All whopping 45 shares! It's in a retirement account with nothing left but two mutual funds and GE. Time to ditch the GE. Thanks for spurring me into action.

Spoiler!
Congress has been discussing making retirement changes through a plan named RESA. It's sorta up in the air AFAIK I know they've discussed letting small businesses pool their plans which would definitely lower fees. Also, I saw something about a tax-free savings account possibly. I wish they'd make it where you can put more a year into an IRA. Like combine the amount you can contribute to 401k + IRA and let people put it where they want. |

Maybe I should do the same thing. But I keep thinking that I'm at least getting the dividend. At some point it'll rebound, right? Right?
